you can always just craft your own gear too.
frankly if you level a crafter or gatherer you can even make the bardings yourself for 1/3rd of the price depending on the items needed
theres really nothing to spend gil on besides housing and glamour, and if you ever run out of gil its very easy to make lots of it back during patch days. you can make a lot of money just selling tome mats when they come out iif you dont want to craft raid gear on week 1
